Thanks for sharing. I am about to embark upon SLS repairs on both my W123 and W124.

Wish me luck.

Let me know if you need o-rings for your 123 valve. More info in the link in my signature.

I've mentioned this many times before, check these guys and their products out. The line is cost comparable with lines from the dealer. But more importantly when you get to the points where there is difficulty these soft lines are worth every penny and more! The time and frustration factor are significantly reduced that value alone is worth it. When it comes to installing short lines in tight spaces like there is around the leveling valve this makes things infinitely easier.

If the OP had used these lines he would not have been struggling to align things at the valve and could have very well avoided what will now be extra hours, fluid, parts and dollars,

Fedhill now sells shorter lengths of line so you don’t need an entire roll, they also have all the fittings, although you can by the fittings at Auto Zone in a bag of 10 for less than a dollar each to have nice new clean parts. This Cunifer line is also extremely easy to flair even with a cheap tool.

They used to sell although I didn’t try looking for it a 6000 PSI compression splice fitting that could be used to repair the SLS lines when they suffer the “wear through” failure at the mounting clip areas due to abrasion and rust.

Good luck!

Will do. Thanks.



Thanks for the info. I will check them out. I may have to replace the lines if I cant get them apart.
